I was recently given an ad-hoc of this fantastic little platformer about a week ago. Initially I was skeptical, I’m not a huge fan of platform adventure games. They tend to become tedious and boring to me, but I took a chance on this game based on the gameplay video. It isn’t that the gameplay was that incredible but that the game was visually breathtaking. It wasn’t too long after installing Blimp that I found myself sucked into this magnificent world the developers created. I was so enthralled by it all that I soon found myself looking dumbly at the blank screen of my battery-dead iDevice.

A new 2D platformer is scheduled to hit the App Store this week. Blimp’s story is heroic: you are a retired war vet who manages to get caught up in a dark and grand scheme that has you locked back behind the guns. Blimp’s developer and publisher, Craneballs are confident that their debut game will turn heads and minds with great graphics, story and friendly competition via Facebook support.
